The biggest question is whether they’ll back Kurz – who has another year on his coaching deal – to bring international-quality players to replace any that might leave.

“We are on a good way,” Kurz said.

“It’s up to us to find maybe good players and we will see which players will leave us.

“I think the (new owners will) do the next step but it’s a question for him.

“We have enough time. We will train the next two weeks and we will see with the squad in the break, what we can do to sign new players for Adelaide.”

Berisha, who has scored 116 goals in the A-League, reckoned none was as good as his match-sealing strike.

He hadn’t seen much of the ball until his moment of magic, but the well-travelled international produced an overhead kick from a Kosta Barbarouses cross to nestle the ball in the corner of the net and win a match that looked certain for extra-time and possibly the dreaded penalty shootout.

“I think it is, I personally think (it is my best),” he said.

“It was an important goal for us and to score a goal like that you’re double happy.

“It’s a goal you don’t score much in your career, probably never. That’s my first one like that.

Heading into a Big Blue semi-final with Sydney FC on Saturday, the Kosovo international said he was feeling bright.

“My confidence is really high,” he said.

“You go through tough times, tough moments, but I’ve been through much worse moments.

“This is the game, up and downs.

“I’m not happy with how the season ended up for us but it’s now about the finals.

“This is why I’m so motivated, I love finals. You know that.

“I live for this, it’s something special that I don’t take for granted.”
